ElI5 Where does electricity go?

577 viewsOtherTechnology

If electricity is electrons, do appliances ”consume” electrons ? Or do the electrons only ”go through” the appliance, then back to the grid? Wouldn’t that cause a build-up in the grid?
Thanks in advance!

Electric current is electrons in motion. It goes around and around in a circuit, like a bike chain, all the while transferring energy from the power plant to your gadgets.
